PUBLIC COMMUNICATION KICK-START STRATEGY ON NUCLEAR ENERGY

SELF-ASSESSMENT OF IAEA’S 19 INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES

A nuclear power human capital development plan is integrated in NPIDP being formulated by MNPC. The plan provides a basis and strategy for building the national education and training capability, designed to produce sufficient nuclear power engineers, technicians and allied personnel for the development and management of the nuclear power programme and, ultimately, for the operation of the nuclear power plants and other related R&D activities.

16

NATIONAL SELF-ASSESSMENT OF 19 INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES FOR PHASE 1 & MILESTONE 1

A self-assessment on the level of national capabilities and state-of-preparedness for the use of nuclear energy was conducted, based on IAEA’s recommendation.

The self-assessment concluded that gaps do exist in the infrastructure needed to support the first nuclear power project. Some of these gaps are significant and need to be resolved, to move on to the next phase, especially:

i. the need to finalise the adoption of a new set of laws, rules and regulations to define the licence requirements and establish the licensing process;

ii. the need to develop a national public communications plan and to implement it soon;

iii. the need to complete a detailed site evaluation for the first nuclear power plant; and,

iv. the requirement to publicise the national policy and strategy to implement the nuclear power programme

CHALLENGES

PRESENT DEVELOP BUILD & IMPLEMENT DEVELOP

clear national nuclear policy to guide development of programmes and facilities for E&T in Malaysia comprehensive education system in all nuclear specialised areas with a specific focus on vocational & technical training in nuclear engineering and nuclear related disciplines. continuous education programme in nuclear fields for sustaining a high level of proper skills, attitude, and knowledge, and to maintain knowledge transfer between new and aging populations. strategies to overcome lack of workforce with practical relevant experience within Malaysia for staffing the NPP and providing training to future resources.

18

RECOMMENDATIONS

DEVELOP & PROMOTE EXPEND EXTEND EXPLORE ENSURE

concise nuclear policy to guide Ministry of Education and encourage expansion of existing capabilities into nuclear fields for both higher education institutions and training centers, both private and government linked current educational system in areas of nuclear science and nuclear engineering to meet the requirements for educating and qualifying nuclear engineers and nuclear specialists in the owner organisation. capabilities for training plant personnel, for both the initial training as well as continuous on-the-job training for all plant personnel internationally for some of relevant experience required of plant personnel until it has developed the necessary capabilities to provide this experience. proper strategies in place to recruit & retain necessary individuals to operate the facility and will have to contend with other industries and other countries who will offer attractive employment opportunities to the graduates.

19
